Speaker 1: This is Dan Caples and welcome to today's online podcast
Speaker 1: edition of The Dan Caplis Show. Please be sure to
Speaker 1: give us a five star rating if you'd be so kind,
Speaker 1: and to subscribe, download and listen to the show every
Speaker 1: single day on your favorite podcast platform. This very moment,
Speaker 1: Quincidentley four oh six on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving is
Speaker 1: truly one of the sweetest moments of the entire year, right,
Speaker 1: I mean, for for almost everybody, because it's at Wednesday
Speaker 1: before Thanksgiving. Most people are going to have Thanksgiving off.
Speaker 1: And for a lot of people if it's if it's
Speaker 1: not their favorite holiday, it's in the top three because
Speaker 1: you know, it's just family and you're together, and it's
Speaker 1: just the world slows down for a few hours. And
Speaker 1: there's that tradition because so people are planning to get
Speaker 1: together and then an awful lot of people, you know,
Speaker 1: I have Friday off. I know not everybody, but a
Speaker 1: lot of people have Friday off. So you got a
Speaker 1: good chunk of folks who are sitting here at four
Speaker 1: oh six on a Wednesday afternoon just looking for to
Speaker 1: you know, one of the very best stretches of the
Speaker 1: year for them. So it's just it is a sweet moment.
Speaker 1: Then we all know, you know, we get to Okay,
Speaker 1: it's now six thirty Sunday night or whatever we're saying. Man,
Speaker 1: I wish it was four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon again,
Speaker 1: just because it is such a cool time. So just
Speaker 1: thankful for that, enjoying that and really appreciate you being
Speaker 1: here to enjoy it. And there is so much to enjoy, right,
Speaker 1: Because my guess is, even if you are left eat that,
Speaker 1: you're you're feeling it now. You may never admit it.
Speaker 1: It may be grudging, but you're feeling it now. Things
Speaker 1: have changed. It's there is real hope now, you know,
Speaker 1: not that sugar high phony stuff. That there is real
Speaker 1: hope now, and we can see it playing out in
Speaker 1: tangible way. So I just think that there's a much
Speaker 1: more positive, lighter, optimistic mood going into this Thanksgiving than
Speaker 1: I think we've had chief.
Speaker 2: Since I can remember.
Speaker 1: So we got that going for us, right, And the
Speaker 1: famous words of Bill Murray eight five five four zero
Speaker 1: five A two five to five the number more importantly,
Speaker 1: text me today if you would d an five seven
Speaker 1: seven three nine, and we're gonna it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: lot of fun, I think, because I know you're probably
Speaker 1: thinking about Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, and if you relatives, friends
Speaker 1: in laws, this, and that, you're just bound, statistically bound,
Speaker 1: especially in Colorado, to have somebody in the mix, you know,
Speaker 1: who disagrees with the political politically, pardon me, somebody who's
Speaker 1: probably on the left, somebody who's you know, at least
Speaker 1: in the past, used to be a Trump hater.
Speaker 2: And so you know, you've got to figure out, Okay,
Speaker 2: how are you going to approach it tomorrow? Are you
Speaker 2: going to just not talk politics at all?
Speaker 1: Which I would never criticize anybody for. I mean, my
Speaker 1: wife and I, you know, thirty years of phenomenal marriage
Speaker 1: at this point in significant part due to the fact
Speaker 1: we learned early on we just can't talk politics. So
Speaker 1: I'm I'm never going to criticize anybody who just writes
Speaker 1: it off for Thanksgiving dinner. Personally, I think it's a
Speaker 1: lot more fun to think about different ways to work
Speaker 1: it into the conversation. And you know, it's always better
Speaker 1: if it's tinged with a little bit of humor. But
Speaker 1: they think, I think there are so many different ways
Speaker 1: you can start with the opening prayer, right, did do
Speaker 1: you lead the prayer? Rye At like Thanksgiving dinner, do
Speaker 1: you lead the prayer? Do you try to avoid leading
Speaker 1: the prayer?
Speaker 3: I've done it before. I'm not the go to guy
Speaker 3: necessarily every time. Okay, depends on the circumstances. And maybe
Speaker 3: if it's my turn in the rotation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you won't dodge it if you're asked right, right.
Speaker 1: And and our son Joe, it's really fantastic. And Caroline
Speaker 1: is a tremendous leader of a young Christian group and
Speaker 1: very very faithful. And Joe, I think part of it was,
Speaker 1: you know, his role on the football team. He was
Speaker 1: a captain of the football team at Cherry Creek, the
Speaker 1: privilege of playing for Dave Logan, and so Joe would
Speaker 1: often get called on to lead prayers in that context,
Speaker 1: and so he kind of developed a thing for us.
Speaker 2: So it's kind of like every Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: Or whatever, Hey, Joe, you want to lead the prayer,
Speaker 1: and he never ducks that. He does a great job
Speaker 1: with it. In fact, you know, I know we're all
Speaker 1: thinking today, and honestly, I do think it's a key
Speaker 1: to life. Every day. I don't do it as well
Speaker 1: as I should, but I try to start every single day.
Speaker 1: My mom taught us this grown up first thing you do,
Speaker 1: first thing you do when you wake up is think
Speaker 1: of five things you're grateful for. And that was way
Speaker 1: before Tony Robbins or any of that. I mean, that
Speaker 1: was just my mom sou side of Chicago. Hey, think
Speaker 1: of the five things you're grateful for to start the day.
Speaker 1: And I think that's absolutely right on every single level
Speaker 1: and has a chemical effect too. So I know today
Speaker 1: we're especially focused on that. But so I remember with
Speaker 1: our son Joe, and he flew in late last night
Speaker 1: from law school. He'll be with us tomorrow. But I'll
Speaker 1: tell that story later. I have better make sure it's
Speaker 1: okay with him if I tell it. It's a really positive,
Speaker 1: cool story, but it might be a little too personal.
Speaker 1: Eight five five ur zero five A two five five
Speaker 1: the number techs d A N five seven seven three nine.
Speaker 2: So what would love your text on? You know?
Speaker 1: In particular jokes, because I think the key to tomorrow
Speaker 1: if you want to venture into politics at all, and
Speaker 1: I always do, I think the key to tomorrow is
Speaker 1: is two things.
Speaker 2: It's humor and unity. And though I say both the same,
Speaker 2: one as an age and one as a you obviously,
Speaker 2: but it's humor and unity.
Speaker 1: And on the humor side, I think what's really safe
Speaker 1: tomorrow are Kamala Harris jokes. I really do because and
Speaker 1: this is not meant as a shot, I think it's
Speaker 1: just true. I think we got past election day and
Speaker 1: the vast majority of people on the left can now see.
Speaker 1: Maybe they couldn't before because they were so caught up
Speaker 1: and you know, Orange Man bad, but they can see
Speaker 1: now that that this Kamala Harris thing was truly a joke,
Speaker 1: that she was never qualified to be president, and and
Speaker 1: it would have been awful. And they can see that
Speaker 1: now that their kind of spell has been broken. So
Speaker 1: I think Kamala Harris jokes are are kind of fun
Speaker 1: for everybody and a unifier. They aren't going to make
Speaker 1: anybody mad. And and so I think Kamala Harris jokes
Speaker 1: are are very very effective tomorrow. One of the things,
Speaker 1: how many good ones text us?
Speaker 2: Please?
Speaker 4: Yes? All of them? Five seven, seven three nine.
Speaker 3: That assumes, though, that the liberal participants have a sense
Speaker 3: of humor, And I'm not going to jump to that
Speaker 3: conclusion necessarily you are jaded. What I will do though,
Speaker 3: and I think this works and you know what, it's worked.
Speaker 3: Even with my own family members who hate Trump, when
Speaker 3: I bust out the Trump impression and start making fun
Speaker 3: of him, they love it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you have a unique ability to do that.
Speaker 2: Not all of us do. Not many people can do
Speaker 2: the Trump impression. So they're very very dan and just
Speaker 2: tell it like it is.
Speaker 1: No, No, you have got that talent, my friend. You
Speaker 1: have got that talent. When you know, when God was
Speaker 1: sitting up there and thinking, Okay, what do we.
Speaker 2: Give this guy?
Speaker 4: That's all I do.
Speaker 1: You know it was Trump impression. Yeah, this guy he
Speaker 1: gets the Trump impression. No, that is really good. But
Speaker 1: but no jokes, Kamala Harris jokes.
Speaker 2: You can't go wrong.
Speaker 1: There are no Kamala Harris loyalists. And you know, one
Speaker 1: of the things that's going to make Thanksgiving so much
Speaker 1: better tomorrow, besides kind of the general overall feeling of
Speaker 1: optimism moving forward, is there are so many fewer Trump
Speaker 1: haters and those who do still hate. The temperatures turned
Speaker 1: down a lot, not for all, but most, you know,
Speaker 1: since election Day, and I think the reason for that
Speaker 1: is again, people take a step back and can see
Speaker 1: how this harrisoning would have been a disaster. But also
Speaker 1: Trump has been legitimized, and there had been this effort
Speaker 1: to delegitimize him since the day came down the escalator,
Speaker 1: but he has truly now through this victory, he has
Speaker 1: been legitimized. And so I think there's just a much
Speaker 1: different attitude in America tourtum and some of it shows up,
Speaker 1: you know, and the good approval ratings and all that stuff,
Speaker 1: But I'm just talking about real world what you feel stuff,
Speaker 1: and he has been legitimized. And one of the reasons
Speaker 1: why is think, what's in our American DNA, just what
Speaker 1: we all inherently respect, sometimes is grudging because we may
Speaker 1: disagree with the person and other stuff, but we respect fighters,
Speaker 1: we respect courage, we respect people who get off the mat,
Speaker 1: people who are faced with kind of unimaginable challenges and
Speaker 1: they overcome them at the hero's journey. It's in our DNA.
Speaker 1: And so I think there is so much more respect
Speaker 1: for Trump right now and so much less hate just
Speaker 1: for the fact he was able to overcome all of that,
Speaker 1: let alone for the positive reasons to support them. So
Speaker 1: I think that's going to make Thanksgiving dinner that much easier,
Speaker 1: make politics safer. But I would respectfully suggest and I
Speaker 1: believe me tomorrow requesting lots of things, but I would
Speaker 1: respectfully suggest that that A key is you can talk
Speaker 1: political issues, in my opinion, at dinner with plenty of
Speaker 1: liberals there if if if I'm focused on the issues
Speaker 1: that are more unifying, right, because there are certain things
Speaker 1: that were really big on the Trump agenda that no
Speaker 1: nobody can really disagree with. You know, these things like uh, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, we should get the criminals out of the country.
Speaker 1: So folks here illegally who've committed other crimes, every reasonable
Speaker 1: person is going to agree that they should go. You know,
Speaker 1: people actually committing other crimes should go.
Speaker 2: So that that's.
Speaker 1: Something big everybody can agree on. You know, I think
Speaker 1: everybody can agree that. But boy, it's going to be great.
Speaker 1: It's going to be great to have lower prices. Everybody
Speaker 1: knows prices are too high, right, I mean, there are
Speaker 1: just these different points that I think so many people
Speaker 1: can agree on, and I think just focusing on those
Speaker 1: during Thanksgiving dinner. Another one is is you know, parts
Speaker 1: are parts you know can't have, can't have males with
Speaker 1: penises and girls' bathrooms and showers everybody sees that that's
Speaker 1: another positive thing. Might want to wait for the rate
Speaker 1: part of dinner to get into that. You know the
Speaker 1: fennyl and Trump now is stepping up with the tariff thing.
Speaker 1: He's going to use the thread of those tariffs. He's
Speaker 1: going to make China and Mexico shut down this chemical
Speaker 1: attack on our country. You have fast majority of people
Speaker 1: can agree on that, so they're so I personally, I'm
Speaker 1: going to stick to those more unified issues.
Speaker 2: But on the humor front.
Speaker 1: Let me know your good Kamala jokes, and I've got
Speaker 1: some thoughts on how to work some kind of subtle
Speaker 1: jabs into the into the prayer.
Speaker 2: You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
Speaker 4: And now back to the Dan Kapla Show podcast.
Speaker 1: A lot of people who don't like Donald Trump, I think,
Speaker 1: now see him as legitimate, even admire him for for
Speaker 1: the way he overcame all that. It's going to make
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving much easier with the lefties tomorrow. But I think
Speaker 1: Youmer's key. So I want to get your best Kamala
Speaker 1: jokes because listen, everybody can see at this point, right
Speaker 1: she would have been a total disaster. America dodged a
Speaker 1: bullet and so I think everybody can you know kumbaya
Speaker 1: around Kamala jokes tomorrow, So go to lines on those
Speaker 1: right now. And if you need a reminder, this this
Speaker 1: is recent. This is like her video message yesterday, And
Speaker 1: if you haven't seen it, let's just say, you know,
Speaker 1: she's a very attractive human, not not her best look
Speaker 1: in this video, and it sounds like it, right.
Speaker 5: I just have to remind you, don't you ever let
Speaker 5: anybody take your power from you. You have the same
Speaker 5: power that you did before November fifth, and you have
Speaker 5: the same purpose that you did, and you have the
Speaker 5: same ability to engage and inspire. So don't ever let
Speaker 5: anybody or any circumstance take your power from you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you got to see the video, but you
Speaker 2: can hear it, right.
Speaker 1: And it's a good reminder to me that I need
Speaker 1: to start drinking more in twenty twenty five because I
Speaker 1: enjoy a drink here and there.
Speaker 2: I've had one drink all year.
Speaker 1: And seriously, I've been thinking I need to drink some
Speaker 1: more in twenty twenty five, and she is a good
Speaker 1: reminder of that. I don't think that's going to be
Speaker 1: her resolution, but Elaine in Denver. You're on the Dan
Speaker 1: Kapla Show.
Speaker 4: Welcome.
Speaker 6: Hi there, Dan. You were mentioning about good Kamala jokes
Speaker 6: for Thanksgiving around the table, and I saw a skied
Speaker 6: on SML Night Live where Maya Rudolph playing Kamala. She
Speaker 6: was having a some kind of a party for her
Speaker 6: step kids, and so she says to them quote, she says,
Speaker 6: even though I'm not your Mamala, We're going to create
Speaker 6: some dramaa here in our pajamaas. So those are the
Speaker 6: only three, those three rhyming words that I remember, But
Speaker 6: it went on to be it was funnier than the
Speaker 6: way I'm oh.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I know the one you're talking about, Alane.
Speaker 1: But thank you for that, because you're you've reminded people
Speaker 1: everybody can work Mamala in somehow. Tomorrow there's a way
Speaker 1: to work Mamaala into the conversation and that'll make everybody
Speaker 1: laugh because he had all these celebrities out there seriously
Speaker 1: saying it, which just goes back to a lot of
Speaker 1: different things. Carlos and Milliken, you're on the Dan Kaplas Show.
Speaker 7: Welcome, Hey Dad, I love the topic. I got a
Speaker 7: joke for or Kamala Harris, yes, sir, or for all
Speaker 7: the Hispanic voters I voted for Trump, we call her
Speaker 7: Kamama la Herry.
Speaker 1: Okay, any any particular meaning? Okay, Right, appreciate the call.
Speaker 8: Di'le tones the punchline eight five five five eight two
Speaker 8: five five the number if you just joined us saying,
Speaker 8: Kam'm talking about ways to successfully navigate Thanksgiving tomorrow, fun ways,
Speaker 8: you know, when you.
Speaker 1: Have liberals at the table, and I'm just suggesting humor,
Speaker 1: and particularly Kamala Harris jokes because everybody, everybody gets it right,
Speaker 1: that would have been a disaster that wasn't serious. Mark
Speaker 1: in Denver, You're on the dan Kapla show.
Speaker 9: Welcome, Hi, thanks for taking my call.
Speaker 10: Rub I imagined you were old enough to have grown
Speaker 10: up in time when if you ask someone who they
Speaker 10: voted for, they generally would say, it's none of your business.
Speaker 11: It just used to be the.
Speaker 9: Way we operated. We didn't wear our votes on our sleeves.
Speaker 11: And you know, just thinking of Thanksgiving dinner and again
Speaker 11: back to those older days when he didn't discuss religion, politics,
Speaker 11: or sex at Thanksgiving dinner, and so I would just
Speaker 11: question the notion of bringing in any political jokes, whether
Speaker 11: it's about Kamala Harris or a great post Lady Malamia.
Speaker 12: Trump, I'm so glad you called like the right place.
Speaker 9: It doesn't seem like the right place.
Speaker 1: I'm so glad you called, yeah, because because I do
Speaker 1: think that's the threshold school idea.
Speaker 9: Maybe that's an old school idea just like that. And
Speaker 9: you do remember when we grew up and people said
Speaker 9: to our parents, who'd you vote for? And they go,
Speaker 9: it's none of your business. Yeah, it's just kind of
Speaker 9: it was maybe a saner way to operate rather than
Speaker 9: wearing your politics on our sleeve like we all do
Speaker 9: all the time.
Speaker 1: Now, Mark, what a great thank you for that, and
Speaker 1: not completely forgotten about that.
Speaker 2: He's right. I mean it was a little.
Speaker 1: Before my time, but I can remember, like my parents' generation,
Speaker 1: maybe my grandparents' generation, I can remember people saying none
Speaker 1: of your business and that being kind of a standard
Speaker 1: acceptable response. That's fascinating. I forgot those days ever even existed.
Speaker 1: And personally, I'm not suggesting those are better days, because
Speaker 1: the way I look at it is the stakes.
Speaker 2: Are so high in these issues. I mean I'm.
Speaker 1: Literal when I tell you I think once again, Trump
Speaker 1: voters saved America, and so I think these stakes are
Speaker 1: so high and such a big deal that then now
Speaker 1: I think we need to be out there telling people
Speaker 1: what we believe and you know, trying to persuade them
Speaker 1: to vote the way we want them to vote. So
Speaker 1: I know that other era was probably more comfortable. I
Speaker 1: think this is more necessary. Eight five five for zero
Speaker 1: five A two five five the number Now Mark's point,
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that we have to use Turkey Day
Speaker 1: in order to win the next election. And obviously nobody
Speaker 1: wants to braid anybody tomorrow. It's just we've got to
Speaker 1: recognize the fact we're all human, right, And with all
Speaker 1: the abuse that Trump has taken and that Trump's supporters
Speaker 1: have taken over the years, only to be proven right,
Speaker 1: I'm just operating in reality, and I just know it's
Speaker 1: going to be physically impossible for lots of us to
Speaker 1: refrain and restrain from.
Speaker 2: Some kind of acknowledgment that we were right.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: So what's the best way to execute that without, say,
Speaker 1: undermining the entire event? And I think there are ways
Speaker 1: to do it, Like the prayer, Right, if you get
Speaker 1: called on to say the prayer, you might slip in
Speaker 1: a little and thank you.
Speaker 2: For Trump voters. It doesn't have to be the whole prayer.
Speaker 1: And at some point you're going to praise the cook, right,
Speaker 1: so you can you can just work in a boy,
Speaker 1: you really made that Turkey great again.
Speaker 2: You know, just just some little things there. But let's
Speaker 2: be realistic.
Speaker 1: How many people are going to be able to go
Speaker 1: cold turkey on politics tomorrow after probably the most consequential
Speaker 1: election of our lifetimes and we won, Broly human God
Speaker 1: has not finished with us yet, so let's figure out
Speaker 1: the best way to do it.
Speaker 2: Be some good kamalo joke here on the Dan Capla Show.
Speaker 4: You're listening to the Dan Kaplis Show podcast.
Speaker 2: How's that play out with the UF tier policy? Because
Speaker 2: it's the it's the threat of the tearff right.
Speaker 13: Yeah, China has not played by the rules since they
Speaker 13: came into WTO in nineteen ninety nine, and most administrations
Speaker 13: have just let it roll. Most of us do business there,
Speaker 13: realize it's time to really set the records straight here
Speaker 13: because they cheat, they steal, they don't protect IP, we
Speaker 13: can't use their courts, and she is getting away with
Speaker 13: it because he thinks no one will stand.
Speaker 2: Up to it.
Speaker 13: My strategy here and what I would advocate for is
Speaker 13: to raise the walls so high that it forces him
Speaker 13: to the table here in Washington for a reciprocal deal,
Speaker 13: which we desperately need.
Speaker 1: And listen, I understand nobody is interested in talking about
Speaker 1: tariffs the Wednesday afternoon before Thanksgiving. The only reason I
Speaker 1: played that, and that was Kevin O'Leary making a very
Speaker 1: good point. The only reason I played that was as
Speaker 1: part of Okay, our plan together, and this is something
Speaker 1: we'll forge together. Now, vast majority of the audience, I think,
Speaker 1: you know, I have a similar worldview that this conservative,
Speaker 1: common sense approach, and then you get other you know, liberals,
Speaker 1: and some flaming liberals in the audience were grateful for them.
Speaker 1: But we need a plan for tomorrow for Thanksgiving, because
Speaker 1: I just don't think it's realistic to assume we're going
Speaker 1: to go into this Thanksgiving, this close to the most
Speaker 1: consequential election of our lifetime, that we won after years
Speaker 1: of abuse and DERI and they're trying to jail and
Speaker 1: some are trying to kill our candidate. Now we're only human.
Speaker 1: There's going to be something about that tomorrow. So let's
Speaker 1: figure out the best approach. What I'm suggesting is the
Speaker 1: combination of humor and unity. So humor good, Kamala Harris jokes,
Speaker 1: if you have some share it, don't keep your light
Speaker 1: under a bushel eight five to five for zero five
Speaker 1: eight two five five or text d an five seven
Speaker 1: seven three nine. So good, Kamala Harris jokes. Nobody's going
Speaker 1: to get upset about that because she has zero support
Speaker 1: in America. Zero support in America. Now, plenty of people
Speaker 1: voted for it because they wanted to stop Trump, but
Speaker 1: then Trump gets legitimized through his victory.
Speaker 2: Because American DNA.
Speaker 1: You know, we respect people who overcome enormous odds and
Speaker 1: keep fighting and so so yeah, Kamala Harris joke's totally
Speaker 1: safe tomorrow. So if you've got a good one, let
Speaker 1: us have it. The other thing is just kind of
Speaker 1: the unity stuff. Some of these political issues that drove
Speaker 1: the campaign, but they're unifying other than if you have
Speaker 1: a true psycho in your family, then maybe they can't
Speaker 1: agree on things like uh, yeah, now somebody with male
Speaker 1: organ shouldn't be in the girls shower or or you know, yeah,
Speaker 1: we've got to deport criminals from our country people who
Speaker 1: came here illegal and then committed other crimes. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: got to get rid of them right now. Every sane
Speaker 1: person's going to agree with that. Fentanyl, Yeah, stop the
Speaker 1: chemical attack on our country. Everybody's going to agree with that.
Speaker 1: So I think that's the key. And then, of course
Speaker 1: humor in other ways you can work it in. So
Speaker 1: if you have suggestions, I've given you a few of mine.
Speaker 1: But if you have suggestions, would love them. We have
Speaker 1: other things today we need to talk about, but I
Speaker 1: don't know that anything's more important than that.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: What's Kamala's favorite wine? Kecklin Cabernet. Thank you very much, Texter.
Speaker 1: I'm not sure that's going to be a big winner tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Ryan liked it for it, okay.
Speaker 3: I think she prefers Chardonnay or penal. Greg Gregio, did
Speaker 3: you Dan?
Speaker 4: Come on? Can we talk?
Speaker 2: Can I ask you a questions?
Speaker 1: Do you think it's fair in these days now of
Speaker 1: legalized drugs and you can't even call it marijuana and
Speaker 1: Colorado it's krackle one, it's so pope. Do you think
Speaker 1: it's fair to ask elected officials whether.
Speaker 2: They smoke pot?
Speaker 4: Hey?
Speaker 2: Do you do dope?
Speaker 1: I mean you know, and I don't mean this in
Speaker 1: the pejority, But when you have a mayor of Denver
Speaker 1: who comes out and says he's calling for an insurrection,
Speaker 1: he says he's going to have an insurrection, He's going
Speaker 1: to use Denver police to go fight Feds to stop
Speaker 1: federal law enforcement from enforcing federal law. Is it fair
Speaker 1: to ask in that situation, mayor, do you do dope?
Speaker 1: Do you use dope?
Speaker 3: It's fair, but I think his answer being yes would
Speaker 3: play to his base in Denver.
Speaker 4: They would look at it as a positive.
Speaker 2: Well, maybe you're right.
Speaker 1: Is it fair to ask about psychedelics? And I'm not
Speaker 1: making any kind of allegation. I don't know Mike Johnson personally.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's ever used marijuana. I don't
Speaker 1: know if he's ever done psychedelics. Asking since this stuff
Speaker 1: is legal now in Denver in part large part because
Speaker 1: what the left has done. Because the left knows the
Speaker 1: more drug population is more dependent on government, they'refore more
Speaker 1: likely to vote.
Speaker 2: For the Left. That's why they want all that poison.
Speaker 1: So is it fair to ask, particularly when it comes
Speaker 1: out and says stuff that insane and that obviously harmful
Speaker 1: to Denver.
Speaker 3: And I would be more concerned if the answer was no,
Speaker 3: I don't use marijuana or psychedelic mushrooms, there any kind
Speaker 3: of drugs along those lines. This is what I honestly
Speaker 3: think with a sober mind. Okay, that's more concerning.
Speaker 1: So would it be fair to ask Kamala Harris had
Speaker 1: been fair to ask her during the campaign?
Speaker 4: Dan, how about after that video yesterday?
Speaker 1: Well, come on, yeah, and those are yeah, yeah, you
Speaker 1: can't tell me.
Speaker 2: Let's play on kile of that.
Speaker 1: But Ryan, there were fair questions long before that I
Speaker 1: got my button bars out of because we would have
Speaker 1: the coconuts sound right? This dates back to the coconut
Speaker 1: era and what was polish to remember Polis Immediately he
Speaker 1: started sending out tweets with coconuts and palm trees.
Speaker 5: And you think you just fell out of a coconut tree?
Speaker 10: Do you exist in the context.
Speaker 5: Of all in which you live and what came before you?
Speaker 1: Yeah, tell me this as a guy who's never done drugs,
Speaker 1: can you just and I don't mean that as a
Speaker 1: whole ear in now or judgmental enemy adult who has
Speaker 1: That's not my point. I'm just being honest about my
Speaker 1: experiences never having been in that mental state. Is that
Speaker 1: mental state consistent with a particular more consistent with a
Speaker 1: particular substance, or none at all.
Speaker 4: It can be.
Speaker 3: I think it would be a very convenient and valid
Speaker 3: excuse for talking like that.
Speaker 4: I don't know that she has it.
Speaker 3: Maybe outside of the wine now, I believe, Dan, We're
Speaker 3: gonna get a lot of stories from staffers who were
Speaker 3: very close to during this campaign. They're gonna tell us
Speaker 3: what was going on behind the scenes, and that may have.
Speaker 4: Been part of it. The wine part. I think there's
Speaker 4: a lot of wine involved.
Speaker 1: Come on, how soon after she was installed? It's Saturday
Speaker 1: Night Live. Do the America's wine mom skein.
Speaker 4: The Josh wine?
Speaker 3: Which is a very clever turn of phraser because of
Speaker 3: Josh Shapiro. And did you see the video? I think
Speaker 3: we had it at one time several months ago, Dan,
Speaker 3: she spoke to some I think campaign workers in Wisconsin.
Speaker 4: Her hair was disheveled, she was luring her words. You
Speaker 4: remember that one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it just stands as the son of
Speaker 3: an alcoholic.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I can tell you that that looked a little peculiar.
Speaker 3: Not drying any conclusions or anything, but we never really
Speaker 3: got to fully enjoy this one I know is your
Speaker 3: favorite dance. I want to play it, but it's timely
Speaker 3: because of the season.
Speaker 4: And this would have worked so well in so many ads.
Speaker 5: And when we all sing happy tunes, I sing Merry
Speaker 5: Christmas and wish each other merry Christmas.
Speaker 4: These children are not going to have a merry Christmas.
Speaker 2: How dare we speak merry Christmas? How dare we?
Speaker 1: Or Joy takes so many different forms, doesn't it? And
Speaker 1: and isn't that one of the ironies? And I know
Speaker 1: everybody already knows this, but I'm so glad to see it.
Speaker 1: The joy was in the Trump campaign, I mean, which
Speaker 1: which brings us back to some more ways to make
Speaker 1: tomorrow successful and fun, even with your liberal relatives at
Speaker 1: the Trump dance, right, because everybody can do it, yes,
Speaker 1: and and so you can work that in in a
Speaker 1: thousand different situations like tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Okay, you get the yippie nephew.
Speaker 1: Okay, he arrives at the front door, he's all grunged out.
Speaker 1: We don't have one of these, by the way, I'm
Speaker 1: just imagining somebody who does.
Speaker 2: You don't know what a yippie is? Okay, Okay, arrives
Speaker 2: at the front door.
Speaker 1: He knows more than anybody, right he and and you know,
Speaker 1: but they're the fund way, the man bun. They're these subtle,
Speaker 1: funny smells like skunk. You know that there are these
Speaker 1: subtle ways you can do it. So you get to
Speaker 1: the front door, and then you just do the quick
Speaker 1: Trump dance proof, you know, because everybody can do it.
Speaker 4: It's just like you know, I think it's contagious.
Speaker 1: A right jab, a left jab, and then just mix
Speaker 1: a little into the Thanksgiving you know song list, a
Speaker 1: little YMCA because I guarantee you you you pump a
Speaker 1: little YMCA into that dining room, you know, during dinner,
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna have even the lefties are kind
Speaker 1: of just instinctively gonna start doing the Trump dance.
Speaker 2: I mean you can't not.
Speaker 3: Just by playing that song or hold on on Coming
Speaker 3: by Sam and Dave.
Speaker 4: The message is set. People know what those songs mean.
Speaker 4: At this point, it's.
Speaker 1: Got to be the YMCA. Well the other that's another
Speaker 1: great way to celebrate. Just put an American flag out, right, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Just put the American flag out Because the left now
Speaker 1: views the American.
Speaker 2: Flag as a.
Speaker 1: Sign of far right extremism, right, I mean, that's how
Speaker 1: far gone there. But I'm just talking about fun, subtle
Speaker 1: ways that don't ruin the dinner. Yeah, eight five five
Speaker 1: for zero five A two five five Do you want
Speaker 1: to get to some of these texts? So if you've
Speaker 1: got some good Kamala jokes, because that's nobody's gonna get
Speaker 1: upset about good Kamala jokes tomorrow, and other ways to
Speaker 1: just sort of work your your message in with a
Speaker 1: little bit of humor, you know.
Speaker 2: And there are ways, like I suggested earlier. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: whether it's the could be the green beats. Ooh you
Speaker 2: sure make those green beats great again. You know, they're
Speaker 2: just those little ways.
Speaker 1: We've got other news we need to talk about also
Speaker 1: eight five five for er a five eight two five five.
Speaker 2: Text d A N five seven seven three.
Speaker 4: Nine And now back to the Dan Kaplass Show podcasts.
Speaker 2: When we need the webcam. It's like thirty bucks, why
Speaker 2: don't we have money?
Speaker 8: Look a good dam don't you a dead man can
Speaker 8: do this dance?
Speaker 4: Joe Biden?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Biden could do it. He voted for Trump. He
Speaker 2: might as well do the dance, you think He.
Speaker 3: And doctor Jill Biden behind the scenes of Dundas dance
Speaker 3: like having fun with it because they are glad.
Speaker 1: Kamal alas, I can absolutely picture that, totally picture it
Speaker 1: and think about it before we go back to the
Speaker 1: phone lines. You're trying to talk about how to navigate
Speaker 1: tomorrow if you've got lefties entered Thanksgiving table and who
Speaker 1: doesn't and in a fun way, and texture doesn't like it,
Speaker 1: she says, Dan Kamala jokes on Thanksgiving Day is a
Speaker 1: terrible idea. We really don't need more antagonism right now.
Speaker 1: Please rethink this. We were taught never to gloat when
Speaker 1: we win and never to whind when we lose. Now
Speaker 1: the last part, thousand percent agreement why I was to see,
Speaker 1: let's see.
Speaker 2: That's how we can do it tomorrow. Keep it light.
Speaker 1: But I was taught from the time I was a
Speaker 1: little kid. Yeah, you know, the winner is more than
Speaker 1: who has the highest score on the board. You have
Speaker 1: to conduct yourself like a winner. In fact, that was
Speaker 1: part of my dad's toast at our wedding reception. He
Speaker 1: was my best man when Amy and I got married,
Speaker 1: And that's what we were taught from when we were
Speaker 1: little kids. I'm with you, one thousand percent on that,
Speaker 1: and I've always.
Speaker 2: Practiced it, and so I get that.
Speaker 1: No, I'm not talking at all about any kind of
Speaker 1: gloating tomorrow. No, No, I'm talking about being honest about
Speaker 1: the fact that we're all human, and being realistic about
Speaker 1: the fact that this close to the election, most consequential
Speaker 1: election of our lifetime, that we won, and then obviously
Speaker 1: there'll be some adult beverages tomorrow, and just being realistic.
Speaker 2: Something's going to work.
Speaker 1: Its way in so let's just have fun with it,
Speaker 1: do it in a humorous way. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But to your point about Biden, as I go back
Speaker 1: to the phone lines in these great texts every day,
Speaker 1: I tried to add one profound observation, you know, beyond
Speaker 1: the obvious, something that maybe isn't being talked about many places.
Speaker 1: And I think what that is right now is that
Speaker 1: one of the many great accomplishments of Donald Trump with
Speaker 1: this victory is this is the end of the Obama era. Now,
Speaker 1: it doesn't mean that he's going to disappear or won't
Speaker 1: have an impact or this or that, but in terms
Speaker 1: of Barack Obama having some kind of dramatic, dynamic impact, no,
Speaker 1: I think this ended that still relevant and important, yes,
Speaker 1: but not the king maker. And it's to the point
Speaker 1: you made a second ago. Ryan, think about it. Joe Biden,
Speaker 1: you know, for his deep cognitive decline. Somehow Biden and
Speaker 1: the people around him were able to And I think
Speaker 1: it was the people around him, because we all know
Speaker 1: Joe Biden didn't write that letter, you know where he
Speaker 1: rescinded his Democratic nomination. Somebody else put that together, obviously,
Speaker 1: but whoever was making those calls, they completely maneuvered Obama
Speaker 1: because there's there's no doubt you know, it was Obama
Speaker 1: spearheading this effort to get Biden out and replace him.
Speaker 2: And he succeeded.
Speaker 1: But then the people around Biden completely outflanked him and
Speaker 1: immediately inserted Harris through a Biden endorsement, to make sure
Speaker 1: Obama would lose and all the people who deposed Biden
Speaker 1: would lose. So it was one of the most brilliant
Speaker 1: political plays we've ever seen by an otherwise decrepit failed administration.
Speaker 1: But thank god they did it. Thank god they did
Speaker 1: it because she was just not going to win and
Speaker 1: it lets Trump start with a big head of esteem.
Speaker 2: Now, Dean and Arvada. You're on the Dan Kapla show.
Speaker 12: Welcome Hey Dan, get afternoon and then the Happy thanks
Speaker 12: Giving you too much. I wanted to say one thing,
Speaker 12: all Varry Mike's this thing, because how dare him have
Speaker 12: a happy Thanksgiving tomorrow? And how dare him have a
Speaker 12: merry Christmas?
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah no, And I'm suppose you haven't
Speaker 1: heard from area for a few days.
Speaker 4: Yeah, go ahead, funny.
Speaker 14: I wanted to ask all this like last I don't
Speaker 14: know year, year and a half, two years they've been
Speaker 14: calling Trump Hitler, fascist, Marxist, I mean, just derogatory defamation names.
Speaker 3: Doesn't have a lot.
Speaker 2: Can he sue for that?
Speaker 1: Oh listen, not for that, but he can sue for
Speaker 1: certain other things. And I've volunteered on air to represent
Speaker 1: him for free in a lawsuit against Jim Acosta CNN
Speaker 1: when Acosta went on air yeah and said that Trump
Speaker 1: had called for the execution of Liz Cheney. I mean there,
Speaker 1: even though you're a public figure, there are still lines.
Speaker 1: And yeah, so to be interested to see if he
Speaker 1: pursues any of that, my friend, thank you Dean for that.
Speaker 1: We're up against a hard network break coming up here.
Speaker 1: But yeah, be interesting if he pursues any of that.
Speaker 1: I'm not predicting that. I think he's gonna have his
Speaker 1: hands full. And I hate to talk about anything serious
Speaker 1: on this Wednesday before or Thanksgiving, one of the happiest
Speaker 1: times of the year for so many people because so
Speaker 1: many foot just being together with family tomorrow and then
Speaker 1: some people have the four day weekend and watching the
Speaker 1: just as ashe's time that, yeah, that could certainly happened. Certainly,
Speaker 1: just say that because you grew up a Barris fan,
Speaker 1: I know, Dan, oh yeah, yeah. But but all in
Speaker 1: obviously for many moons with the Broncos. But it is
Speaker 1: fun to see the Lions resurgence, and you know, we
Speaker 1: all like to be proven, right. Caleb Williams, I don't.
Speaker 1: I wish him very well, but I just don't think
Speaker 1: he's a winner. You know, quarterbacks especially, it's everybody gets
Speaker 1: all caught up in you know, height, weight and all
Speaker 1: these different metrics when it comes to quarterbacks, more so
Speaker 1: than any other position in any other sport, it's about
Speaker 1: that X factor. Who's a winner, who's a winner, who's
Speaker 1: a leader. And yeah, he's obviously got it. T Bow
Speaker 1: had it Nix has it, Shador Sanders has it. You know,
Speaker 1: you got some people have it, and then you get
Speaker 1: all these five Stars and you get all these people
Speaker 1: who have all the tools.
Speaker 2: But they don't have the heart.
Speaker 1: They don't have that X factor, and Caleb Williams is
Speaker 1: just maybe that can change over time. And nobody in
Speaker 1: our audience cares about Caleb Williams, including me. So I'm
Speaker 1: going to stop all that right now. But I do
Speaker 1: in the five and I'm sorry to get serious about something,
Speaker 1: but we have this obviously coordinated attack trying to terrorize
Speaker 1: a large group of Trump nominees. What do you think
Speaker 1: that portends for what is to come and what's the
Speaker 1: best response to that.
Speaker 2: You're on the Dan Kapla Show.
